times they were good friends. The cause
of the killing is, it seems, the demandrby
Wheels upon Brock to return pair OF
mules leased for the year. Being on the
road at the time, Brock declined
to do so until he had car
lied the wagon home, which seems
to have Infatuated Wheels, who p1o-
ceeded ahead of Brock to his (Wheelis')
sons house, procured gun, stopped
Brock in the road as he passed, and again
demanded the return of the mules. Brock
made the same reply as before and con-
tinued to drive toward his own house,
when old man Wheels fred at him, rid
ding his body with thirty buckshot.
Brock WAS entirely unsrmed, having been
hauling cotton to the gin, and did not
anticipate trouble with Wheels.
Sach is the testimony taken by Judge
Norton at the inquest this evening,
and who will declare that Dick
Brock came to his death by gunshot
wounds inflicted By B. H Wheels.
Wheels at once fed, having first dis
patched one of his sons to Calvert for
money on deposit there, with which 1t is
presumed he will make good his escape.
Sheriff Jones with a posse is in hot pur-
suit, and will doubtless apprehend him
tonight.

Fraudulent Insurance Companies Doing
Business In Texas.
Special to the Gazette.
AUSTIN, TEX, Oct. 17.-Attorney- Gen
ersl Hogg to day issued a manifesto to
the Commissioner on Insurance, Statistics
and History which is regular bombshell
in insurance circles. Colonel Hogg mott
fies all concerned that there are twenty
one insurance companies frsudulently
doing business in Texas. He says many
of these companies are wholly irresponsl-
BILE financially, fraudulent and deceptive
in purpose and practices, and are unlaw-
full. Their representatives are art
full dodgers, they work money from
unsuspecting people and obtained money
under false pretenses. The agents Of
these companies are liable to state taxes
of 5000. The companies alluded to by
Colonel Hogg include eleven from Texas
and the bslance from New York, Alabama,
Indiana, New Orleans and Chicago. The
names are omitted because Of libel law.

A Wreck on the Internattonal-The Mayor
Arrested.
Special to the Gazette.
LAREDO, TEX, Oct. ia disastrous
wreck occurred on the international Rail-
way about thirty miles north of here yes
terday morning. The freight train bound
north left here st O'Clock, and at about
10 a. M, when near the station of Cactus,
two fanges on the trucks of box car
broke, and the wheels left the tracks,
dragging the four cars following. ALI
the ditched cars were loaded with ore
from Mexico, bound for the smelling
works OF the Mexican Ore Company at
Kansas City. Forces for clearing the
track which was strung along for about
a mile, did not arrive until late yesterday
afternoon, and were compelled to work
nearly oil night. The passegg ger train
due mere last night could not pass until
this morning, and did not arrive here
until about O'Clock. No one was hurt.
Another complication has now arisen
in the judicial middle in Laredo. The
Mayor of the city has been arrested on 3
warrant issued by the state Judge of the
district and must appear soon in Guerrero
to answer to charge of false imprison-
ment, as the order of arrest imprisoning
three local judges for unbecoming con-
duct was issued by him.

Special Correspondence OF the Gazette.
MoBEKTIE, TEX Oct. 15.-Mr. Byrd,
one of the COllingsworth settlers who
have been ordered to abandon their homes
by the Rocking Chair Ranch Company
was in MobeetIe to-dsy. He stated that
the time given the settlers TO leave by the
manager of the company has about ex-
PRED, but that none Of them nave any in
tention Of leaving. They will only go out
ct the extremity Of the law. Mr..
Byrd states that when the manager
notified him to leave he said that II the
order was not obeYed he BYRD would
be put to heavy expense in going to Aus
tin to defend criminal prosecution. Mr..
Drew, the manager, also said; "You fell
lows think this land is going to be class
ed as agricultural, but there's where you
are mistaken" The settlers have
received no reply to their ap-
peal to Governor Ross. His
probable course is matter Of much spec
ulatiOn and concern, as it will have much
weight upon the adjustments Of trou Jles
between the pasture interests and set
tiers.
1t is reported that an old gentleman in
this county, settler on school land,
whose boundaries are threatened by the
resurveys now being made in this county
by the railroads., got out his shotgun and
swore the surveyors shouldn't come on
his land. His old corners are still recog-
nized as valid.
